Nuala brings a systems-psychodynamic approach to her work to surface the unspoken and largely unconscious issues that influence how people take up roles, perceive what is happening and make decisions. With a deeper understanding of the workplace experience, clients are better able to consider organisational structures, processes and resources and create opportunities for sustained change. Nuala is a consultant and coach for INSEAD’s Global Leadership Centre and a faculty member for The Grubb School of Organisational Analysis. Her consulting services focus on leadership development and organisational change.
